Artist comment
〈HoloLive member: Shirakami Fubuki〉
This time, four of us, including Shirakami Fubuki, Houshou Marine, Tsunomaki Watame, and Otsuki Maki, sang "We Go!" from "SPECIAL EDITED VERSION ONE PIECE Fishman Island Arc"! I still can't believe that we, the Hololive members, can hear our singing voices from the "ONE PIECE" anime. I feel very honored to have been given this opportunity, and I am proud to have been involved in a work that I love.
〈HoloLive member: Takanashi Kiara〉
Kikkeriki! I'm Takanashi Kiara from Hololive English -Myth-. I'd like to comment on behalf of my friends Hakos Baelz and Kobo Kanaeru! It's a dream come true to be able to participate in such a wonderful project. This is a great milestone for us as it is the first time that the three of us have sung for an anime. We are so honored to be singing with the legendary Hiroshi Kitadani for our Hololive English/HoloLive Indonesia version! I hope that everyone will enjoy our version of "We Go!" among the many versions out there!
The recording was so much fun and I can't wait to hear everyone's reactions.
〈Hiroshi Kitadani〉
This is the first time we've recorded this song that we've been singing in various places and situations for 14 years! And it's a collaboration with everyone at Hololive! While there are parts that are arranged in a pop style, there are also parts that are energetic and powerful and have a strong nuance, so please enjoy the new "We Go!" with stronger nuances!
〈Maki Otsuki〉
This time, we had the opportunity to collaborate with everyone at Hololive for the first time with "We Go!" I was also very happy that it was arranged by Mine Kushita, who I haven't seen in a while! From the cute singing voice, Nun! Otsuki will appear like the final boss, so please look forward to it~ (laughs)
I'm honored to be able to work with Otsuki Maki and all the Hololive members! This time, we've packed in a lot of different instruments and sounds as a special version of the great song "We Go!" from "ONE PIECE". I hope you'll listen to the full version!
I teamed up with tepe to create a dramatic arrangement full of adventure. The cute singing voices of the Hololive members and Kitadani's overwhelming vocals combine to create a world view that will instantly draw you in. The sound is sprinkled with exciting gimmicks that you can discover every time you listen, so please enjoy it to the fullest.
It's really like a dream to be involved with "ONE PIECE", which can be said to be the bible of my life. This time, I teamed up with TeddyLoid to update the song without forgetting to respect the original song. It's packed with a lot of sounds unique to "ONE PIECE", so be sure to check them out. People's dreams never end!!!
The company owns the whole characters but yes, they usually reach a level of popularity where, even without explicitly stating it before leaving, they can just start streaming independently with a different character and a good chunk of the fanbase will still find and follow them again.
The company doesn’t even seem to be against it actually, and afaik one time where they had to terminate a talent for breach of contract, they pretty much encouraged her to start streaming again as an indie and wished her good luck.
